We do not recommend this low-slung look. Fanny packs should be worn high on the waist. This is an affront to common decency.

No man bags for Matthew McConaughey - he'd rather carry all his earthly belongings in a zippered sack slung around his waist.

The Texas star proudly sported a fanny pack while cheering on the Astros during an away game at Boston's Fenway Park. He told a CSN reporter that the utilitarian style has never really gone away, although you do have to wear your pack off to the side to avoid looking "too nerdy."

McConaughey has plenty of stylish fanny pack options to choose from for his next baseball game, and he can even pick up a couple for Camila Alves to try on. Click through the slideshow to see.
